They never overbook or oversell their hunts in order to focus on the individual needs, goals, and desires of their clients.

HUNT DETAILS:
Experienced guides lead every hunt, bringing in-depth knowledge of the terrain and Coues deer behavior. They specialize in multiple hunting units and are skilled at helping hunters glass and stalk these wary desert whitetails. Guided hunts are especially valuable for those new to Coues deer or unfamiliar with the rugged Southwestern landscape. Whether you're after your first Coues buck or looking for a record-book trophy, this hunt offers a rewarding and highly respected adventure.

ACCOMMODATIONS:
Accommodations vary depending on the specific hunt and location. Options may include cabin stays, hotels, lodges, campers, or traditional wall tents. Meals range from home-cooked, ranch-style fare to dining at local restaurants if staying in town.

LICENSE INFORMATION:
The New Mexico deer draw operates as a lottery-style system with no point-based structure—everyone has the same odds each year, regardless of past participation. This means you could draw on your first try, or it could take several years. Up to 6% of tags are allocated to non-residents who apply with a licensed New Mexico outfitter, while only 4% go to non-residents applying on their own. To increase your chances, it's highly recommended to apply through an outfitter.

New Mexico does not offer preference or bonus points, so strategic application is key. There are also no landowner tags available to the public through the draw; all public land elk tags must be applied for through the state system. A non-refundable hunting license must be purchased annually to apply, and this cost is required whether or not you're successful in the draw.

If you’re looking to apply for units that this outfitter guides in, the Huntin’ Fool License Application team can assist with the process—ensuring your application is submitted correctly and giving you the best chance of drawing a quality elk tag.
